"The College began its campaign in March 1999 when the BC Teachers' Federation passed a resolution in support of the development of programs to eliminate "homophobia" and heterosexism in the schools. This program called for pro-homosexual themes in every grade from kindergarten to grade 12 in every curriculum area. (This must have been a challenge for the woodworking classes.) Thousands of dollars in union funds were spent in publishing and distributing this program and its resources. The program instructed children that homosexual behaviour is normal and acceptable, and morally equivalent to heterosexuality.

"Canadian Donna Lindquist wants to be an elementary school teacher, and she believes the training she is receiving at Langley's Trinity Western University (TWU) will qualify her to teach in the British Columbia school system.
But there is a problem. Last June, the province's accrediting agency denied TWU's application to fully certify its teacher-education program. Although the academic program passed muster, the British Columbia College of Teachers (BCCT) determined the school's policy on homosexuality to be "discriminatory" and "contrary to the public interest."
2. Everyone has the following fundamental freedoms:
a) freedom of conscience and religion; b) freedom of thought, belief, opinion and expression, including freedom of the press and other media of communication; c) freedom of peaceful assembly; and d) freedom of association.
15. (1) Every individual is equal before and under the law and has the right to the equal protection and equal benefit of the law without discrimination and, in particular, without discrimination based on race, national or ethnic origin, colour, religion, sex, age or mental or physical disability.
Affirmative action programs (2) Subsection (1) does not preclude any law, program or activity that has as its object the amelioration of conditions of disadvantaged individuals or groups including those that are disadvantaged because of race, national or ethnic origin, colour, religion, sex, age or mental or physical disability.
But it seems that Church run schools are going to be required not only to teach pro-homosexuality but also hire openly homosexual people both of which is against their faith.
Qouteing the Bible in public has been ruled a crime in Canada already. They are tring to do it in the USA now. Speaking out against homosexual is quickly becomeing a crime in of itself. In schools religious children are call biggots for rejected the pro-homosexuality teaching. And lastly Doctors who due to their faith can not perform a elective service for a homosexual, no matter how much they hook them up with one that will, are not allowed to act on their conscience.

a) freedom of conscience and religion; (but you can not act according to your faith in canada if it is relateing to homosexuality) b) freedom of thought, belief, opinion and expression, including freedom of the press and other media of communication; (yet in Canada they have sent a man to jail over this.) c) freedom of peaceful assembly; and (Yet in the USA they are tring to send 5 people to jail for 47 year for doing just that.)
d) freedom of association. (Yet in Canada Church run schools are being presured to teach pro homosexual teaching even thought it is against its faith.)

And under that you are striping faiths the right to belief what they want.
I have giving a long list of events in which homosexuality has been used to mussle, sue, and forced acceptance and association. Which was my point in the first post. I have given you REAL CASES.
Can you give me cases in which religious freedom was protected in Canada when it comes to homosexuality?
